In "Pacific Rim," Guillermo del Toro's aliens come not from the sky but the depths of the ocean.

A trailer for the sci-fi epic was shown at WonderCon in March, and its made its way to the Web. The two-and-a-half minute clip explains that the monsters show up in San Francisco first, with the "sole purpose to aim for the populated areas and take out the vermin - us."

Rather than just allow the aliens to wipe out humankind, pilots are enlisted to commandeer giant robots and take on the creatures hellbent on destruction.

The trailer looks badass. I think the bulges on the suits will be ok. In the George Clooney Batman movie (worst Batman EVER!) they not only had bulges, but nlpples as well. Except Batgirl of course, but she still had the lumps. Thats really no way to talk about your wife Bob. And I wouldnt have guessed sand would be much of a problem in central Canada, but never been there so what would I know. Hey, if she squeezes real hard, can she make a pearl? 🙂

I'm not sure when this film will show up at the old Galaxy Cinemas here in central Canada, but I'll be the first in line. I do agree with the woman earlier about the metal suits that accentuate certain, ahem, body parts. Not sure how kid friendly that'll be, but I'll gladly take the Mrs. to the show. She likes the science fiction almost as much as me. In fact, we were talking about these movie photos earlier and she remarked that she'd like to try on one of those armored get ups if given the chance - she's a still a real looker for a 45 year old gal - but figured it would be downright hot and uncomfortable for someone who's c o o t c h is covered with sand.

I really like the anatomically correct metal bulges in the male and female armor. It would give me a stiffie if I had that equipment. Maybe I'll go to the bedroom for a private session with Mr. Buzzy for awhile...
